All,
I have done some searches and found some info but I still do not know if I understand this situation enough.
I am going to have to change slips at my marina. Current slip has 30-amp power and that is what I have been using for a year.
New slip has 50-amp power which uses a different type of connector.
I have a Y-Cord that looks like it will plug into the 50-amp shore power and leave me with a 30-amp plug to use with my 30-amp shore power cord going to the boat.
What I am most confused with I think is the 120 vs 250 volt situation. Is this an issue? Can I only use my Y-Cord adapter if the shore power is 50-amp/120-volt.
Or does the Y-cord take care of the voltage issue as well?
Thanks for any insights on this shore power issue.
Cheers,
Jim
